Kranti replied. Hi Anju and Hetal,

Sorry to say my ped told me exactly opp what hetal says ( no arguments.. every ped has diff views). He told me to give tomato juice to my 6months old daughter.. ccok the tomatoes in cooker and then remove their skin and put them in mixture with some sugar ( in case they are sour)/salt whatever the baby likes... and then add some asetofodia(hing). and mash it in a mixie...u can add zeera also to that

Hetal replied. hi, wait until your baby completed 9months, go slow for sour,spicy,or strong flavours like onion, garlic,chillies,tomatoes,pineapples,citruses,,.
when you start after 9months, get those sweet seedless cherry tomatoes,,you often get them in organic markets or speciality market...or remove seeds,thick stem,skin & always give it boiled with rice or dal, or a thick soup(add in cereals to it),,,,,or put them to pastas,after boiling and crushing them.
also remove skin of tomatoes, as skin may stick to palete of baby and its uncomfortable and frustrating for babies to eat with disturbances,
and after all check his cues about any reactions like rashes or discomfort or refluxes after tomato or any strong flavours.
good luck Minka replied. Hi ,

I have been gving tomato since my son was 6 months old - but please check with your paediatrician - I read somewhere that citrus fruits veggies are not recommmended by some docs.

I peel and deseed the tomato before using it. I add with other veggies and rice/dal or make soup with it.
